THE POLITICAL BUM.
Classifying the Strikers Who Beset
the COuntry Candidate.
Greensbnrg Record.

Greensburg Record
If the Creator ever made anything more
contemplate than the political bum He fa-
vored humanity by not turning it loose on
the community, and it is the fact that this
creature works periodically that makes him
endurabe There are a great many of him,
or In other words, he works in great many
ways.
We might first consider the "Money Bor-
rowing Bum" He strikes the candidate.
He ingratiateS himself into favor, if possi
BILE. He informs the candidate of the num-
ber of men he controls in matters political.
He may even produce letters purposely pre-
pared and graoiously map out plan by
which a whole township may be secured.
He is the soul of earnestuess-the paragon
of sincerity. He will speak of availability
and profess not only to have superabundant
influence in his own party, but will contend
that a large contingeut Of the opposition is
subser, lent to his will. The picture he
draws is enchanting and the candidate who
is not posted will CO ngratuate himself on
the bonanza struck. The candidate is not
kept long in Ignorance as to how much this
thing is going to cost; or, rather, what favor
the "bum" will ask in re urn for this ser
vice. The "bum" mildly suggests that in
the course of human e"ents it has become
necessary for him to negotiate a loan, and
this is demanded of the candidate on a
sliding scale, aud the bum comes down so
rapidly that the candidate is often inclined
to meet him about the ifve-dollar point, and
once and forever the bus'n is ended, and
the bum is ready to open negotiations with
another candidate for the same office and In
the same political party. This fellow should
perambulate.
The ''Ten-cent Bum" is perhaps, as OBJ
noxious, but not as dangerous. The PIE
vailing price of drink of whisky gives the
sucker" away, ami he often intercepts a
hasty Judgment by announcing the purpose
of his asking to be just that anticipated In
the 'fixed price" Should the candidate
visit bar room he will find in some places
long liue of eager expectants, who believe
that they a:e entitled to the consideration
of "set up" The bar-keepCr sometimes
ingenously arranges matters to the great
4
accommodation of these distinguished and
charac eristc citiz ,us.
There are places where close observer
could calculate the expenses Of a candidate 8
canvass by watching carefully the size of the
crowd that fits from one bar-room to an
other and then multiply the number in the
crowd by tie number of ba--rooms in the
town, and this product by ten, it will give
the expenses the candidate had to stand in
that place, chargeab!e to the 'liquid ac-
count" How many votes this made the
candidate largely depends on whether he
was the last to strike the town or not, The
ten cent bum should be sont 10 the tread
mill, and the candidate who monkeys"
with him should lose the support of the
people and will lose it,

All About a Hat.

liz European history hat has more than
once been the cause of war between various
nations. But the hat in these cases was
a cardinals hat, not such one as the lost
stove-p'pe head covering OF NJ. SchI &c beles,
as to the exact location of which after the
commissioners struggle with the German
police, the two governments of France and
Germany are Uorating one another and on
which account are apparently on the verge
of declaration Of war.
German officials took photographs of the
exact point where Schp@beles crossed the
frontier and of the places where the subse-
quent events happened, according to the
evidence of the German police.
But French officials had previously photo
graphed Schl,ebees' hat, lying where it had
fallen, this being the point, as alleged by NJ.
SchL ebeles, whero the struggle took place
that ended in his capture. The hui uu.
doubtedly was lying on the Frei ch side Of
the frontier, aud the precise .pnt is identified
by French witnesses as the place where the
| Germans effected the capture.
SO now war may be at any time declared

two countries in rel arI 10 the position of an

The New Railroad Line.

The new and elegantly appointed depot oi
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the Del
aware Avenue Station is receiving its finish
ing touches and in the early days OF the
coming week Mr.. Miller, the ticket agent,
will transfer the paraphel MALTA of his tfhce
to the new structure.
The new train service on the Baltimore
and Philadelphia Railroad between this city
and Philadelphia for the accommodation OF
suburban travel, which went into effect on
Sunday last was successful, and the local
travel on the new road has increased consid-
erably. The company desires to secure the
patronage of the holders of regular monthly
or quarterly tickets by this means, and for
this purpose they have also made their rates
on quarterly tickets lower than on the r.,
w. & b. Railroad, the difference amounting
to over So. 1t is said that number OF
Sharon Hill patrons of the p, ".
Railroad will go over to the new road when
their present tickets expire. The B. y L.
Railroad has issued neat time-card giving
the rates for monthly, school, quarterly and
family.
Ea hssant, we will call the attention of
onr readers to the delightful location for
suburban homes on the line Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad
Going South as far as Newaik the line of
the Railroad abounds with inviting localities
or either summer OF permanent residences
aud the line s not far distant when this en-.
tile section will be dotted with thriving and
progressive villages.
Going North the b. & o. tIayerses one of
the most picturesque and delightful terri
tories anywhere to he found in this part of
the country From the crossing of the
Brandywine Bridge to "B5othwyn" there
is such slope on the ight of the road as to
give an enchanting view OF the Delaware
river, to say nothing of the charms pre-
sented of the sloping and rugged hill sides.
The entcrprising man who takes adyan-
tage Of the opportunities here presented and
stakes off building lots and puts them on
the MAJ ltet will make 10 mistake. While it
is not generally known, it is nevertheless
true, that the management of the b. o.

The New Fish Commissioner.

1t is a little difficult to see what special
title Mr., Elwood r. Norney has to the posi-
tion of Fish Com missioner for the State of
Delaware.
His interest in pisoculture in this State is
something relatively new and synohronous
with the commencement of the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature or in other words
when he discovered there was something in
1t. On ascertaining that fact his diligence
and interest in the question was aroused,
and only then did he discover any prociiyi-
ties for ~isciculture. That science is alto
together now with Mr. Norney. He knew
nothing OF the needs of this State, nor of its
fi,heries, nor of trout nor sbad, unless plank

he has not labored for years in this direc

He was never known by the fishermen here
They had never heard his name.
The position that has aroused his ambi

have beeu given Mr. Norncy. He 's in n,
special way qualified for it.

EsuuimauX Diet,

A recent writer on vegetariahism in Eng

These people, living the entire year in the
frigid zone, are forced to procure their food
more from the auiinal thau the vegeta hle
kingdom, but their taste for vegetable foud
is always gratifed whenever opportunity ex-
lists. They eat as much as eight pounds of
flesh meat at a meal" says Dr. Ray, "snd
they usually die of scrofula between thirty
i've and forty-five years Of age" In the
spring they will eat scurvy-grsss, wild tur-
nips, wild oats, etc., while in autumn they
find few scattering blackberries, blueber-
